Not gonna do deep age of consent research btw, but seems semi-reliable.
Btw, once Romeo and Juliet laws are universal then there’s no good faith argument against age of consent being 18. However I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want some reactionary parents being able to leverage the lack of these laws against an LGBTQ partner they didn’t approve of, for instance.
Btw Dershowitz is totally bad faith, but there is a good faith version of the issue that actually probably should be a priority in states without these laws. Again, my concern really is its weaponization by reactionaries more than anything. Why leave that shit lying around, as it were.

I mean, according to this there’s still 5 states without them.
